Good move picking up your latest pinball Harvs.  We have 3 on route now, great earning pin, gotta get one for at home now.  :-)   Will trade you a Houdini for yours???   Hahaha
BILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLY!! YES, bring one home (a premium, not the pro)..

Houdini looks great, but I couldn't hit the right ramp ever over all the times I played it.. They rushed that table... Such a kickass theme too. - Actually, I don't think any of the Youtube vids show anyone hitting that right ramp (at least when I watched them after the pin came out.)

Wish those guys woulda spent another month or so on the layout.. I take pin seriously, like bringing back public hangings as mentioned in the above post.., but with those guys it would be more of waterboarding or chop a few fingers off style. They did a good job for the most part.

Houdini is indeed one tough ass game!  Ramp shots are rare, and it gets frustrating to play in my opinion.  So hoping someone comes along and gives mine a new home.  Then come the Jurassic    :-)

They still sell but need to price them pretty low considering. I'm sure you made enough loot to not lose on it when you do sell tho.

Or, I can send a few people over late at night and make it disappear, for free, Houdini style!  :yes:

there are some very impressive replies to this post ... I've got Williams Amber, Gottlieb Queen of Diamonds, Race Time, Palace Guard, Jet Spin, Bally Capt Fantastic, El Toro and Strikes and Spares.

All games were inactive for years, but this covid mess got me to dust them off.  plus the recurring questions from the grand kids "when can we play the pin ball machines".

Capt Fantastic and El Toro are up and running. Just started on the Strikes and Spares.

BTW, does anyone have a (pdf) manual for the Strikes and Spare?  Had the game in the shed for 20 years.  not sure if I ever had the paper work.

There's a post by mvco that lists the game, but I don't know how to email him directly to ask.

perfect, thanks!


now I'm in trouble because I can see part numbers that may need to be ordered after I get it to power up.

I only have one Pinball ...it's a Dracula made by Stern 1979 ...My Aunt had it in her Basement for years and was going to toss it . I asked her for it and , saved it !! I called in a Service guy when it came home and it works fine now. My few complaints are . the digital numbers are shaky and fading a bit now plus ,  one of the flippers is getting weak  (might need Viagra) and , the paint is starting to peel off the glass. I wish there was some way to spray it with something to seal it on. I don't think I'll ever be able to find a NOS replacement Glass because it is not really a game that's in high demand  ...but I still enjoy it a lot

Nice! - The weak flipper could be as easy as replacing the coil sleeve, or just taking it apart and check if there's any binding.

They make a repro translight you could use, just sandwich between 2 pieces of thin glass.. Or you could spray 'triple thick' I think its called on the back to stop the cracking.

Be sure to spray very thin layers of triple thick if you go that route.

The triple thick works great, just take your time and put on one thin coat at a time, let dry, and repeat.   You will lock in the old paint and prevent future flaking.  Ive done it on a few of my older pins I had.

i have another :)...
[size=78%]not for sale, at the moment....[/size]


the one i dumped had some pretty severe gremlins (blasting driver boards, transphaser sensors being erratic - even though ground mods were all done and checked out), and a split cabinet - but was BEAUTIFUL otherwise... i was gonna take the two and make one real nice one (have a kruzman playfield sitting here too, waiting)...  as such - i had grown tired of sitting on it.


got a friend that wants to take a poke at it - as such, it left for 2200.... which is a steal, IMO (lost money on it - just wanted it outa here).

eraserheadd on pinside.


i'm still stuck on the slot thing - as i'm just learning what's what (like i got the idea less than 48 hours ago).
not even sure i want one at this juncture, but it is being contemplated actively....


we have parties over here (70'ish ppl) - pre covid... and i like having new surprises for my guest(s)... a slot seemed like an interesting idea....


kinda glad i ran Ethernet all over my gameroom... one of em is FINALLY gonna get used.
